USP-S | Silent Shot (Minimal Wear)

The USP-S | Silent Shot in Minimal Wear (MW) is the second-cleanest wear of a blue-and-steel USP-S from The Dead Hand Collection. The skin is Mil-Spec and comes from the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal. For CS2 the USP-S | Silent Shot can be bought in any of its five wears.

What the USP-S | Silent Shot looks like in Minimal Wear

The pistol is built from two materials: gray steel metal and a bright blue pattern. The pattern consists of angular signs on the suppressor and geometric shapes on the slide and frame. Valve describes it as black and blue symbols with shuriken, and a diamond with rays is visible on the grip.

This wear is assigned a float band of 0.07 to 0.15. Minimal Wear takes 8% of the scale, which runs from 0.00 to 1.00. In Minimal Wear the scuffs are only beginning, and wear does not change after the drop.

Where the USP-S | Silent Shot came from

The finish was drawn by two people, Maloo and kioShimyo. They submitted it to the Steam Workshop on October 20, 2024, under the title “USP-S | SILENT BOY”. Valve later picked the work for the collection, which holds seventeen community finishes and 22 new pairs of gloves.

The Dead Hand Collection was released on March 11, 2026, and the USP-S | Silent Shot has been part of it since launch. In Valve's catalog the finish is number 1431.

What to check before buying

What sets one USP-S | Silent Shot listing apart from another:

• stickers and a name tag already on that copy, and how they sit on the blue pattern;


• the float: within 0.07 to 0.15 the difference in paint condition is slight;


• the version: StatTrak™ and regular listings are sold as separate products.

There is no point searching for the USP-S | Silent Shot by pattern index, because the artwork does not change. Nor is there much to choose by float: the stretch from 0.07 to 0.15 is short.

What the USP-S | Silent Shot costs in Minimal Wear

Compared with the other wears, the price runs like this:

• Factory New is about two and a half times dearer;


• Field-Tested is two and a quarter times cheaper;


• Well-Worn is almost three times cheaper;


• Battle-Scarred is level with Well-Worn.

In the lower half of Mil-Spec USP-Ss, this wear sits next to the USP-S | Tropical Breeze and USP-S | Check Engine. The USP-S | Torque costs more, the USP-S | Alpine Camo costs less, and the USP-S | Blueprint and USP-S | Business Class are several times higher.

Getting the USP-S | Silent Shot

Its only source is the Sealed Dead Hand Terminal. No contract can produce the skin, since Mil-Spec is the lowest rank in this collection.

As an input to a contract, the skin has a role of its own. Ten Mil-Spec skins from the set make one Restricted, among them the Galil AR | Galigator and MP9 | Urban Sovereign.

StatTrak and Souvenir

The USP-S | Silent Shot has a StatTrak version. Souvenir copies of the finish turn up as well, although no packages were issued for it: those were made only for tournament map collections. Such copies are built through the Souvenir-O-Matic, which hangs gold tournament stickers and a player autograph on an ordinary skin from your inventory.

Stickers and craft on the USP-S | Silent Shot

The pattern is bright but not dense: bare metal remains between the signs. White and yellow stickers show up crisply on it, while blue ones get lost among the ornament.

Who this wear suits

Buying the USP-S | Silent Shot in Minimal Wear is worth it for these reasons:

• you want a blue USP-S for CS2 whose paint is nearly intact;


• Factory New is more than you need, and Field-Tested is a step you would rather leave behind;


• a small spread in condition matters to you: the stretch from 0.07 to 0.15 is short.
